The Republic of Georgia has called on foreign countries to use the
English-language version of the country's name - Georgia - rather
than other versions.
Deputy Georgian Foreign Minister Nino Kalandadze said Georgia has
already sent official requests to other countries over the issue.
"We took this initiative long ago, and have sent written requests
to several countries so that 'Vrastan' [also Gruzia] be renamed into
the country's English version of 'Georgia'," she was quoted as saying.
Kalandadze also said that South Korea has already responded to their
request, and the country is now referred to as "Georgia" there.
Further, she said that Georgiia will continue efforts to have all
countries use the English version of the country's name.
